These explosion-protected machines are not suitable for hybrid explosive environments.
This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Use in atmospheres where there is a risk of explosion caused by both gas and dust
simultaneously is absolutely prohibited.
Only install machines with type of protection increased safety "eb" and machines "ec" in
hazardous zones, carefully complying with the regulations laid down by the responsible
regulatory body. They are responsible for determining the hazard level of each area (division
into zones). For machines with Ex "t", under no circumstances must a layer of dust be
greater than 5 mm!
● If there are no other specifications in the EC or EU-type examination certificate or on the
rating plate regarding operating mode and tolerance, electrical machines are designed for
continuous duty and normal starting procedures that are performed infrequently and do
not result in excessive temperature rise. Only use these machines for the operating mode
specified on the rating plate.
● If an anti-condensation heating system is available, it may only be switched on when the
machines are not in operation.
Thermal protection (Page 43)
Explosion hazard due to overheating of the machine caused by deposits of dust
Deposits of dust have a thermal insulation effect, which can lead to the machine
overheating. The maximum surface temperature of the machine cannot be adhered to. The
dust can ignite, resulting in an explosion. This can result in death, serious injury, or material
damage.
• Dust the machine regularly.
• Do not switch the machine on until the dust has been removed.
